NeMo Studio Experiments

View as Markdown

Use Evaluations > Experiments in the NeMo Studio workspace sidebar to group evaluations for comparison, and to drill into evaluation results and individual runs.

Experiments is enabled by default. An administrator can disable it by setting studio.feature_flags.experiment: false in the platform configuration and restarting Studio.

Create an Experiment

Select New experiment from the Experiments list. In the Create experiment tab, provide a name, an optional description, and a default sort order for the experiment’s evaluations, then select Create.

The modal also has NeMo Assistant and CLI command tabs. CLI command shows an equivalent nemo agents experimentalist run invocation, with --train-dataset and --validation-dataset selecting the training and validation data; NeMo Assistant is a placeholder for a future guided flow.

Experiment Detail

Select an experiment to open its detail page, which shows aggregate metrics across its evaluations and a table of the evaluations in the group. Toggle Pareto view to plot evaluations on a chart instead of the table, by default cost against latency. Change either axis to cost, latency, or any evaluator’s score (cost_usd, latency_ms, or evaluators.<name>); the selection is saved per experiment.

Select Edit to update the experiment’s name, description, or default sort order.

If the experiment was created from an Optimizer insight, an Insight description card appears with a link back to that insight. See NeMo Studio Insights.

Evaluation Drill-Down

Select an evaluation from an experiment’s table to open its detail page, which shows aggregate metrics for that evaluation and a table of its test-case runs (sessions).

Select a session to open its detail page — the same trace and span view used by Traces, scoped to that test case. See NeMo Studio Traces.

Compare Runs Side by Side

From a session’s detail page, select Compare against… and choose another run of the same test case. Studio splits the view into two columns — the current run on the left, the selected run on the right — so you can compare trace output side by side. Select Clear to return to the single-run view.
